I had Roman, Stan, and Elvin as my crew and they were amazing! Extremely professional, helpful, and efficient. I would recommend this company and this crew to anyone and everyone!
Had the best experience using WellKnown Moving Company from Philadelphia to Charlotte. Alex was incredible. He and his crew were able to move all of our boxes and furniture from our 2 bedroom apartment quickly and carefully! Same with the unloading in Charlotte! Communication was great throughout and everything was done with care. I will be using them again in the future!
Daniel and his team were amazing made moving very easy! Thanks to both
Highly recommend WellKnown Company, they were professional, got everything moved without a scratch, we will use them again in the future. Thanks Vlad, Alex and Artem!
Vlad, Mirlan, and Alex made my move quick and easy. Nothing broken or banged up. Very professional and honest. Highly recommend
Came in time and did a great job. Stan, Mahat and Elvin were awesome
Stan and Elvin could not have been better. They were incredibly professional, quick, and kind. They took a lot of care wrapping our furniture and easily navigated a narrow staircase entry point. Communication was excellent the entire time. Moving is SUCH a pain. Make it easier by hiring these guys!!
Stan and Elvin very quickly moved things in and out of both homes, disassembled quickly within 2 hours! My first time every using a moving service and was extremely impressed! Will use again
Vlad and Alex were great! Would highly recommend.
